Not only in the pure and high art of the 'Sonnets from the Portuguese, but even in 'Casa Guidi Windows, the rhetorical and sometimes colloquial tone of which might have been thought to lend itself to such devices, imperfect rhymes occur but rarely not exceeding the limits allowed to himself by every poet who has rhymed given and heaven; and the roll of those who have not done so must be small indeed.
It was the middle of the afternoon when they crossed the second range, which they did by means of a trail which went through a gap, thus cutting off the worst of the ascent. Once through the gap, they came out upon a huge mesa from which they looked down upon the valley in which Casa Grande was located. On the mesa, the tired horses broke into the little easy-going jog which mountain ponies love.
"Well, with a dynamited track, a busted auto, a smashed 'phone connection and a foundered horse, what would you suggest doing?" demanded Johnson, pessimistically. "Walkin' ain't so durned good in this country." "If we could get to Conejo we could get Mendoza to drive us over to Casa Grande," hazarded Williams. "Well, that ain't a bad idea for you, Jack," said Tom, patronizingly.
If you had not come in just then I think there would have been a baruffa. Salvatore is a bad man, and always ready with his knife. And he had been drinking." "He was quiet enough coming home." "I do not like his being so quiet." "What does it matter?" Again there was a pause. Then Gaspare said: "Now that the signora has come back we shall not go any more to the Casa delle Sirene, shall we?"
They did nothing whatever active against us. They lay around and watched, as if in pursuance of a plan traced by a superior authority. They were watching for me. But when, by some mischance, they burnt the roof off the outbuildings that were at some distance from the Casa, their chiefs sent up a deputation of three, with apologies.
No one else comes near the Casa. We are in a state of siege. I dare not go into Olmeta; but I am holding on because you advised me not to sell." "I, mademoiselle?" "Yes; in Paris. Have you forgotten?" "No," answered Lory, slowly "no; I have not forgotten. But no one takes my advice indeed, no one asks it except about a horse. They think I know about a horse."
"Ecco Casa Felice, signora!" said the foremost rower, half timidly, pointing with his brown hand. She made an intense effort and uttered some reply. The boy was encouraged and began to tell her about the beauties of the house, the gardens, the chasm behind the piazza down which the waterfall rushed, to dive beneath the house and lose itself in the lake. She tried to listen, but she could not.
But a little while after this, and Herr Ritter sat again in the old wooden chair by the widow's couch. Early that morning she had written to her sister a long letter, which she now put into the old German's hands, begging him to carry it for her to the Casa d'Oro, and bring her in return whatever message or note Carlotta Nero should give him.
In the prouince of the Northumbers were foure bishops, that is to say, Wilfride archbishop of Yorke, Edilwald bishop of Lindisferne, Acca bishop of Hexham, and Pecthelmus bishop of Whiterne, otherwise called Candida Casa, he was the first that gouerned that church after the same was made a bishops sée. And thus stood the state of the English church for ecclesiasticall gouernors in that season.
After concluding the arrangement for the Casa del Bello, we stood talking a little while with Powers and his wife and daughter before the door of the house, for they seem so far to have adopted the habits of the Florentines as to feel themselves at home on the shady side of the street.
